Marshall (coach's decision) will be sidelined for Sunday's tilt against the Titans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

This will mark Marshall's second straight game as a healthy scratch. He appears to be the odd man out on the receiving depth chart right now. His next chance to play will come in one week versus the Buccaneers.

Reagor (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site/a> reports.

With DeVante Parker back in action Sunday, Reagor is the odd man out in the Patriots' Week 12 WR corps. Also in the mix versus the Giants are Demario Douglas, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kayshon Boutte and Tyquan Thornton.

Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Jones has missed six of the Jaguars' past eight games due to his knee issue and was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the coaching and training staffs were apparently encouraged enough with his health to give him the green light for Sunday. He'll suit up in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 1 and 2. In Jones' return to the lineup in last week's win over the Titans, he played 43 snaps on offense and finished with four catches for 20 yards on four targets.

Parker (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site/a> reports.

Parker last saw game action in Week 8 but following a two-game absence and the Patriots' bye week, the veteran wideout is ready to rejoin the team's pass-catching mix Sunday. In his second season with New England, the 2015 first-rounder has recorded 15 catches (on 25 targets) for 158 yards and no TDs in seven games, and in that context Parker's fantasy upside appears modest in his return to action in Week 12. At this stage, rookie Demario Douglas profiles as the most reliable lineup option among the squad's wide receivers.

Slayton (neck) is active for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

A neck injury contained Slayton to a pair of limited practices during Week 12 prep, and the writing seemed to be on the wall for him after coach Brian Daboll said Friday that he didn't expect the wide receiver to play Sunday. A subsequent doubtful designation forecast as much, but Slayton bucked all trends and will be available to the Giants offense this weekend. Through 11 games to date, Slayton has put together a 30-419-1 line on 50 targets while working with three different quarterbacks.

Jefferson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bears but is considered unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the Week 12 contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Since being designated for return from IR on Nov. 8, Jefferson has been listed as a limited participant in the Vikings' ensuing nine practices. Jefferson's lack of progression in terms of practice activity doesn't seem to be the result of any unexpected setbacks, as the wideout said this week that he's been able to run full speed during portions of those workouts. Additionally, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Saturday that Jefferson "took part in some team reps." Even so, the Vikings look like they'll continue to take a cautious approach with Jefferson and hold him out for a seventh game in a row, with confirmation on his status expected to come by 4 p.m. ET on Monday, the deadline for Minnesota and Chicago to make transactions leading up to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. The Vikings are on bye Week 13, but the team is expected to formally activate Jefferson from IR before his 21-day evaluation window closes this coming Wednesday, setting the stage for him to return to the lineup for the team's Week 14 matchup with the Raiders on Dec. 10.

Guyton (groin) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Guyton, who is officially listed as questionable, looks set to return to the field after having been sidelined Week 11 versus Green Bay. In his last appearance, Week 10 versus Detroit, Guyton secured four of six targets for 41 yards and a score, so it's possible he handles a significant role alongside top option Keenan Allen and rookie Quentin Johnston on Sunday. Guyton's status will be made official when the Chargers release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Beckham (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Beckham is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but he practiced fully Friday and should be ready to take the field. His status will be made official when the Ravens release their inactive list 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but having Beckham available would be a notable boon for a passing game already working without star tight end Mark Andrews (ankle).

Flowers (hip) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Flowers practiced fully Friday but is officially listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game. The rookie first-round pick looks poised to suit up Sunday, though fantasy managers won't have official word on his status until the Ravens release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow wideout Odell Beckham (shoulder) is also expected to suit up despite being listed as questionable.

Brown (heel), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown looks on track to face Los Angeles, but his status may not be made official until the Cardinals release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The return of quarterback Kyler Murray has resulted in a puzzling dip in Brown's production, with the wideout having posted just three catches for 46 yards without a touchdown over his last two appearances. Of course, Brown and Murray have a well-established rapport and should get back on track soon, and the two have a favorable Week 12 matchup. Brown's injury adds a complicating factor into the equation, though head coach Jonathan Gannon called the wideout's absences from practice this week "precautionary."
